03.11.12Enve carbon road bars
Here’s a new carbon road handle bar from Enve Composites. Thoughtful, precise, and innovative are words that best describe this bar. They are designed to provide comfort without gimmicky “ergonomics”. Every contour is designed to fit the hand and allow for a custom placement of brake levers and drop position. As with all ENVE products functionality is priority #1. Features like recessed dual cable routing and integrated bar end plugs are standard fare on this light weight road bar. The end result is a trustworthy bar that will not yield under any demand you place on it. The built in rubber bar end folds over to give a nice look.
Bicycle Dreams movie showing @Villiage 8
This Monday there will be a showing of Bicycle Dreams at Villiage 8 theatres. Some proceeds benefit Bicycling for Louisville.
Fork service donation to KYMBA
We’re very excited to see the growth KYMBA has had here in Louisville in the past two years. They’ve done an amazing job with the local trails. We can’t always make it out to the trail days as we are busy fixing bikes usually. We have came up with a way to offer some support though. For every fork we service in the month of march we will donate $10 of the service to KYMBA. We’ve done four already so will make those ones count too! Let’s keep it going, chances are you probably need some new seals and oil. Get your fork fixed and donate to a worthy cause at the same time!
If your fork has not been serviced in a while, chances are the oil looks something like this. New oil will keep it from wearing out and it will work better.
Upland Louisville Gran Fondo
Well, this is going to be awesome!
All routes begin and end at Thurman Hutchins Park. The Gran Fondo route crosses the river for a trip around Floyds Knobs before crossing back into Kentucky and journeying through the city of Louisville, Iroquois Park, and Jefferson Memorial Forest. Take two of the best road riding areas in Kentuckiana and combine them together with live music, food, and beer. You cant really ask for anything more. Find out more here.
Sub9 Death March
It’s not to late to register for this one…
Teams of two compete to be the first to reach a select list of historical cemeteries in and around the Hoosier National Forest. A digital picture in front of each cemetery sign will be proof of reaching the check-point. Teams will race to five mandatory check-points, two of which will be drawn and announced the morning of the event. Check-points can be reached in any order, using any route. Find out more here.
Campy Hoods
Campy hoods in black and white came back in today along with more chains and cable sets
New Scott Bikes
These new bikes just arrived today! For the ladies we have the Contessa Speedster 15 featuring durable and economical Shimano 105 parts on a 6061 double butted alloy frame for a lightweight bike at a reasonable price.
We also received another one of the Scale 29er’s. The Team model is a lightweight and strong 29” hardtail. With Shimano brakes, SLX/Deore drivetrain, and the same celebrated geometry as its carbon siblings, it gives you a great value in a big wheeled bike.

Swiftwick socks back in stock!
We just got reloaded on Swiftwick socks in the merino wool and olefin styles. We also have the longer 7″ versions too.
MTB’s on ice!
This video starts off with some talking, but be patient or fast forward to the action. I can’t imagine riding on ice like this.
Campagnolo Record 11
While most bikes are built with Shimano or SRAM components, Campagnolo is rarely seen. It is not like the others. Some may say it is the absence from the common market that makes that heart grow fonder or perhaps it’s the rich cycling heritage? There will always will be a debate on which brand is better, but the answer often comes down to purely personal preference. One thing is for sure – the fit and finish of the 2012 Campagnolo Record Gruppo is superb. Custom bikes are a passion of ours around the shop, and we have been lucky to have finished many of these carefully spec’d, bespoke bicycles in Campy. After the build we also stock the small parts, shifter rebuild kits, Ut bearings, cables and chains.
We also ride it and love it. If you want to build a bike with Campy or need service on your Campagnolo equipped bike please be in touch.
